From the opening rhythmic chant of When will he come, this exciting advent anthem creates a sprit of anticipation as it crescendos to a festive and celebratory ending. With its melodic basis in the French folk carol, Bring a Torch, Jeannette Isabella (Un Flambeau, Jeanette Isabelle) the composer's new text enables a variety of programming options for the season of life. Powerful orchestration supports the energy of this fine piece.
